What can you not buy as you will just eat it all in one go?

Biscuits, especially M&S all butter or chocolate Viennese biscuits. I dunk them in tea and they are just gone.
Ben and Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. I only buy it twice a year as I can eat it in one sitting (just did.)
Maltesers. Share bag or even better the little box. I can’t stop until they are all gone.
I wish I could buy food like that and just eat it over a couple of weeks, like one or two biscuits a day.
Fortunately I’m not a crisp person so can completely avoid snacks like that.
What do you try to avoid buying as you just won’t stop eating it?

Weirdly it's crappy cearal bars like alpen light. I don't even really like them, I think it's a throw back to the disordered eating that was exacerbated by slimmingworld. If I buy them I eat the whole box, so I don't buy them, I don't feel I'm missing out at all!

Now I deliberately keep a stock of chocolate, crisps, biscuits etc in the house and tell myself I can have them whenever I want. I want them far less when they aren't forbidden.
